By law, the agriculture commissioner or an animal control officer may order the restraint of a biting dog, cat, or other animal as he or she deems necessary.
Any person aggrieved by an animal control officer's order may request a hearing before the commissioner within 14 days after the order is issued.
The commissioner may affirm, modify, or revoke the order as he deems proper.

This bill makes a restraint order effective upon issuance and during an appeal to the commissioner.
